Re: Charity Rides

I went on a big Toy Run recently in Vancouver. They say there were over 7000 bikes in the parade. As you say, most were HD's, but there were plenty of metric bikes, sport bikes, trikes, customs, even scooters. My GZ was definitely one of the smallest, but who cares? Nobody in the run seemed to care in the least. I think we averaged about 40mph over the course of the run. A poker run is one thing, but a charity 'parade' like a Toy Run is simply a feel-good cruise where everyone is there for the same good cause. If you've never done it because you figured the GZ is too small, think again. You'll have no trouble keeping up with anyone. I'm going on another toy run this coming weekend.
Here's a link to some raw news footage of the Vancouver Toy Run.
